Hello there. If you’re reading this, you’re probably tired—tired of the aching, the heaviness, maybe even a little tired of wondering what those veins on your legs will look like tomorrow. And I’m guessing one of the biggest questions on your mind is, “Okay, but what will it cost?”
It’s the question everyone hesitates to ask but everyone needs answered. I’m Dr. Sandeep Sharma from IR Facilities, and I want to have that honest conversation with you. Let’s break down the varicose veins treatment cost in India, without any confusing jargon. My aim is to give you a clear picture, so you can make a decision that feels right for you and your health.
Why Bother Treating Them? It’s Not Just About Looks.
I see patients every day who apologize for being “vain” about their veins. Please, don’t ever think that. How you feel about your body matters. But what matters more is how you feel in your body.
Those twisted, bulging veins are a sign that the tiny, one-way valves inside them have gotten weak. They’re letting blood pool up instead of pushing it back to your heart. This isn’t just a surface-level problem. Over time, it can lead to:
That familiar, frustrating ache that makes you want to prop your feet up by 3 PM.
Swelling in your ankles that makes your shoes feel tight.
Itchy, discolored skin around your ankles that can sometimes break down into wounds that won’t heal.
A real risk of painful inflammation or clots in the veins.
So, when we talk about treatment, we’re really talking about stopping this progression. We’re talking about trading that daily discomfort for relief, and preventing more serious issues later on. It’s an investment in your future comfort.
What Actually Goes into the Price Tag? Let’s Get Specific.
If you’ve been searching online for a single number, you’ve likely been frustrated. There’s a good reason for that: no two people are the same. Your cost depends entirely on your unique situation. Here’s what we look at:
1. What Your Veins Actually Look Like:
This is the main event. Are we dealing with a few small spider veins? Large, ropey varicose veins? Or a more complex case with skin changes? A simpler case needs a simpler approach. A more complex one requires a more comprehensive plan. This is the biggest factor in determining the cost.
2. How Many Veins We Need to Treat:
It’s simple math, really. Treating one vein is different from treating a network of veins across both legs. Your treatment plan is custom-built for you, and the scope of work is a key part of the equation.
3. The Absolutely Necessary First Step: The Ultrasound Map.
We never, ever guess. Before we even think about treatment, we need a roadmap. We use a Duplex Ultrasound machine to look under the surface. It shows us exactly which valves are leaky and where the problem starts. This isn’t an optional extra; it’s the foundation of safe and effective treatment. Its cost is part of getting it right the first time.
4. The Treatment Method We Choose Together:
The days of being put to sleep for brutal vein stripping surgery are, thankfully, over. Today, we have gentle, minimally invasive techniques that are a total game-changer. The method we pick will influence the cost. The most common ones we use are:
Laser Treatment (EVLA): We use a tiny laser fibre, threaded through a pinprick, to gently seal the problem vein shut.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): It’s a lot like the laser, but it uses radiofrequency energy to close the vein.
Sclerotherapy: For smaller veins, we use a special injection that makes the vein gradually fade away.
All of this is done with local anaesthesia. You’re wide awake, you can chat with us, and you walk out of the clinic shortly after. The recovery is incredibly fast.
5. Who is Doing the Procedure:
This is the part that’s hard to put a number on, but it’s so important. You’re not just paying for a procedure; you’re paying for years of training and experience. My specialty is Interventional Radiology, which means I’m trained to use ultrasound guidance to perform these procedures with extreme precision. That skill is what helps ensure a great result and a smooth recovery.
6. Where You Get It Done:
The environment matters. A clinic with modern, well-maintained equipment and a caring staff team is part of providing safe, high-quality care. At IR Facilities, we’ve built our practice around this idea.
Thinking About Value, Not Just Cost.
It helps to shift your perspective from a one-time cost to a long-term investment. Think about the money already spent on painkillers, support stockings, and maybe even missed work days. Effective treatment puts a stop to those recurring expenses.
More importantly, it’s an investment in your quality of life. Waking up without pain, having the energy to walk and play, and feeling confident in your own skin—that’s what we’re really working towards. The modern techniques we use give you all of that with minimal disruption to your life.
How We Do Things at My Clinic.
We know talking about money can feel awkward. So we’ve made our process as transparent as possible.
It all starts with a conversation. You’ll come in, and I’ll personally sit down with you. We’ll talk about what you’re experiencing. I’ll examine your legs and, if needed, we’ll do that ultrasound scan right then and there to get a full picture.
Once I have the answers, I’ll explain exactly what I see and what I recommend. I’ll walk you through the treatment plan, step by step, and I will give you a complete, clear breakdown of the costs. No surprises. No hidden fees. Ever.
Our team is also here to help you navigate any insurance paperwork and discuss payment options. We want to make this manageable for you.
The First Step is the Easiest.
I know this can feel like a lot to take in. But the hardest part is often just getting started. Living with pain and worry has its own steep cost—one that chips away at your life day by day.
You deserve to feel better. And the good news is, with the varicose veins treatment cost we have today, that’s more possible than ever.
So, let’s start with a simple chat. Reach out to us at IR Facilities and book a time to come in. Let’s get you on the path to lighter, happier legs.
I look forward to meeting you.
Dr. Sandeep Sharma
